Historical 2017 Ministry of Health summary of a 2015–2016 adult palliative-care review, now hosted by Health NZ; not a 2026 service review.
Ministry of Health — Manatū Hauora - PDF
Historical Ministry of Health report published March 2017, based on adult review work October 2015–September 2016; it is not a new Health NZ 2026 review. The 22-page summary is distinct from the larger reference document and companion action plan. DHB self-assessments, four-region visits and targeted consultation are not a representative patient survey or independent proof of outcomes. 2016 forecasts, 2013/2015 setting data, historical funding, workforce predictions and DHB arrangements are not verified current observations, contracts, service access or treatment instructions. Recommendations and later proposed models do not prove implementation. All 22 pages were read and the current linked official PDF is byte-identical; this identity/full-source review does not verify every clinical/legal proposition against current guidance. Original filename/hash/category and June 2026 capture label are preserved separately from the July 2026 webpage update and October 2026 review.
The Healthy Ageing Strategy sets out the strategic framework for health and disability services for older New Zealanders, prioritizing prevention, healthy ageing in place, integrated service delivery, and restorative care across community and residential settings.

Ministry of Health briefing to Minister Shane Reti dated 8 December 2023, introducing the health and aged-care needs of a growing and diverse older population.
Ministry of Health - PDF
Historical ministerial briefing dated 8 December 2023, not a Health NZ service guide or current eligibility standard. Some advice is withheld under section 9(2)(f)(iv); the first public-release day is not established by the 2024-08 URL directory. Dated surveys and modelled forecasts have distinct reference periods. The misleading filename, thirteen-page original PDF and June 2026 capture are retained.

The framework combines a health-system cover paper with patient/whānau-centred service descriptions and enabling functions. Its scope includes hospice inpatient facilities but excludes hospital services and does not define the full core service for primary/generalist palliative care. It connects care networks with the Hospice Service Variation and Costing model, the 2019 palliative-care standards and other cited frameworks. Appendices provide standards links, service/costing descriptions, adult referral criteria and SPICT. Read the expectations against the document’s explicit funding and deliv...

Te Kahu Pairuri o Aotearoa – Hospice New Zealand - PDF
Historical sector-developed service framework, not an enforceable national entitlement, current service directory, clinical prescription or delivered-capacity audit. Document date 8 November 2023 differs from publisher page 4 July 2024 and review 10 October 2026. Proposed 24/7 support and 2025 work completion are not verified delivery. Physical 29-page original, hash, filename and June 2026 capture are preserved; live linked file was byte-identical at review.
Written with Tricia Hendry, the guide combines carer experiences, practical checklists and explanations of palliative/hospice care. It treats close friends as part of whānau-family, supports wellbeing and cultural/spiritual needs, and encourages dialogue with the care team. Planning material discusses advance care, EPAs, wills and funerals; practical care material discusses medicines and common symptoms. These are orientation topics, not instructions to diagnose, alter treatment or determine legal authority. Current primary sources distinguish assessed Health NZ and DSS carer-support streams, ...

Te Kahu Pairuri o Aotearoa – Hospice New Zealand - PDF
Preserved 2024 educational guide, not personalised clinical/legal advice or proof of service/benefit eligibility. The 110-page PDF count is physical; numbered text reaches 106 with covers/blanks. Current publisher 112-page 2026-copyright file differs and retains 2024 acknowledgement wording. Exact local first-release day unknown; June 2026 capture and original bytes retained. Do not treat the p. 67 categorical statement about inability to report illegal drug use as a confidentiality guarantee: current Privacy Commissioner guidance recognises legal disclosure grounds. Simplified DNR/EPA/will material and death-at-home instructions need current professional context; no current national hospice count inferred from the historic 33 figure.
About Funerals explains decisions families may face before and after a death, including venue, celebrant, symbols/music, viewing, embalming, caskets, streaming, tributes, tangihanga, natural burial and memorials. Later sections cover death registration/certificates, payment, probate and possible financial assistance, then offer blank personal-profile and service-detail worksheets. The provider’s commercial and local perspective is useful for preparing questions, but does not independently establish legal requirements, universal estate procedures, grant approval or current prices.

The Wilson Funeral Home - PDF
Historical commercial/provider booklet, not personalised estate/legal advice, statutory tariff or current service availability. No printed publication date established; retained 2024 filename and 2 September 2024 PDF metadata describe capture/production clues only. Original 33-page spread PDF, hash and June 2026 access preserved. Current 24-page 2026-named publisher file differs. Historical six-week / $575 payment terms, probate 12-week wording, certificate turnaround and bus/tribute offers are not current guarantees. Current MSD grant and ACC covered-injury criteria are separate; no updated rates or automatic eligibility inferred.
